This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Insight: This is truly and simply the good news of the Gospel. In Jesus we have new life! We are no longer weighed down by past mistakes or stuck making regrettable decisions. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live a new life that glorifies God!

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for salvation! Thank you for giving your life so that I could have a new and full life. I ask that you would renew my thoughts, my soul, my relationships, and my spirit, so that every area of my life would glorify you.
